Biography
James Mathews was born in New York City, New York, and he joined the NYPD with the goal of enforcing the law and making good money. Matthews was partnered with Ed McCornish, and the two of them became dishonest cops, seeking profit instead of justice. In 2008, the two of them were assigned to follow the Angels of Death outlaw motorcycle club and keep track of their criminal activities, and they set up camp in Jersey City, having a stakeout in their sedan. Matthews and McCornish witnessed The Lost MC bikers Johnny Klebitz and Jim Fitzgerald offloading stolen bikes (which had been stolen from the AOD after the 2008 Skyway Diner shootout) at Quandell Jacobs' warehouse, and the two cops decided to profit off of this situation by demanding large cash bribes from the bikers. Fitzgerald and Klebitz later met and agreed that they would get rid of the cops instead of greasing their palms, and Fitzgerald threw coffee at Matthews and punched McCornish during a meeting with them. Klebitz and Fitzgerald fled on their motorcycles, luring the two policemen towards the South Kearny industrial park. There, the policemen were ambushed by several Lost MC bikers, and Matthews was gunned down behind the wheel of the car, being shot through the front window. All of the policemen involved in the shootout were killed by the bikers.
